I haven't use the i9900, but the prints I got from the s9000 on Ilford
classic pearl were outstanding. 

One thing about the swellable polymers, they might be slow on the
uptake of ink under very dry environment conditions. You might try
storing some of the paper in a closed box under high humidity
conditions before trying to print. This could "pre-swell" the paper
slightly improving the absorption of the ink.

Just an idea that might help.
